(Mongolia) Stans, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, + ?
Seek partner for Almaty, Kazakhstan adventure. I will do Mongolia first, but theride begins in Almaty, Kazakhstan because it seems like the first city in the Stans to buy a bike (from Mongolia must do Russia or China).
Our tentative route would be Bishkek, Tashkent, Dushanbe, Samarkand, Gates of Hell & Turkmenbashi, ferry to Baku, Tbilisi, Yerevan, Cappadocia, then ?
If decent bikes available in Almaty, start this July and enter Turkey about October. I dreamed of this trip to end in St Petersburg, but with Ukraine . . .
I am an old, banged-up, USA moto traveler stranded 2+ years ago in Ecuador after riding in from Perú on my 4th WeeStrom. Before covid I spent 12 years riding full-time in 65 countries and have lived and worked in, or traveled to, 111 countries ... so far. I started racing bikes 40 years late at 55, hence my nickname, El Pinche Gringo Loco.
As an explorer descendant, and retired teacher & coach, I love connecting with locals, but with 100+ fractures and 3 prosthetics, I am less capable riding off road.
I speak English, Spanish; get along in French, Italian, and Arabic, but am vegetarian. Cuenca, Ecuador til departure.
Suggestions about route or anything else are invited!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
